Mailsetter, "here's a sight for sair e'en! What wad ye gie to ken what's in the inside o' this letter? This is new corn I haena seen the like o' this For William Lovel, Esquire, at Mrs. Hadoway's, High Street, Fairport, by Edinburgh, N. B. This is just the second letter he has had since he was here."
Mailsetter, a little out of humour, and even out of countenance, "I am sure I am never against being neighbour-like, and living and letting live, as they say; and since I hae been sic a fule as to show you the post-office order ou, nae doubt, it maun be obeyed.
"Me opened!" answered the spouse of the chief baker of Fairport; "ye ken yoursell, madam, it just cam open o' free will in my hand what could I help it? folk suld seal wi' better wax."

"They who employed thee," replied Oldbuck, "as thou full well dost know. But here comes another express: this is a day of news, I think." This was Mr. Mailsetter on his mare from Fairport, with a letter for Sir Arthur, another to the messenger, both of which, he said, he was directed to forward instantly.
Two females of this description were, at the time we mention, assisting, or impeding, Mrs. Mailsetter in her official duty. "Eh, preserve us, sirs!" said the butcher's wife, "there's ten eleven twall letters to Tennant and Co. thae folk do mair business than a' the rest o' the burgh."
Mailsetter; "but it's a great advantage to the revenue of the post-office thae love-letters. See, here's five or six letters to Sir Arthur Wardour maist o' them sealed wi' wafers, and no wi' wax. There will be a downcome, there, believe me." "Ay; they will be business letters, and no frae ony o' his grand friends, that seals wi' their coats of arms, as they ca' them," said Mrs.
